This tweet has triggered me. I am weeping. My mom died when I was 16. I wish she was here because the difficulty I& #39;m experiencing now with my family was never going to be. I have taken her place in everything as such my grandfather is now my burden & his own kids care less. 1/4 https://twitter.com/NolwAzi_Tusini/status/1380994477880393729">https://twitter.com/NolwAzi_T...

I have seen family members say the word "shame" to me but never offer a hand to give me relief even if it is just for a day. I have lost my childhood because I had to learn to carry my family (cooking, cleaning, washing ironing etc) for the past 10 years single handedly. I& #39;m 29.

I cry because my gran died last year in her sleep. All My grandparents needed was someone to take care of them. There is nothing more painful than watching my uncle& #39;s staying in beautiful houses while their own parents is in tatters. People in their 80s saying alone unattended in

their home until I come back. I& #39;m at work I have to keep calling to check if they are fine. Hearing my grandmother saying "andifuni ukuhlupha mntu." I told myself that God should send me a husband with parents especially a mom. I& #39;ll wear my heart on my sleeve for her for my mom

and grandmother& #39;s sake. I& #39;ll treat them like I wanted people to treat me. Abanye omakoti bakrwada and I& #39;ll do everything better than what I have seen first hand from me. I am planning to leave & relocate so that uncle& #39;s and wives learn to take care of their father for my sanity.

Kunzima to not have a mother. People treat you like a mat in families. I have grown a heart of stone. When people die it& #39;s yoh okay. I move on. Nothing surpasses that pain. I thank God for as I taught myself to live for Him, my life wasn& #39;t so hard to live because He& #39;s all I talk

and cry to. I have cried tears. All shall be well.
